the harpooner punches the dart
into the back of the fish, right at the slde
of the high dorsal fin, and the pole ID with
drawn and fastened again to Its place.
When the dart has been fastened to the
fish the line is allowed to run cut as far as
the fish will carry it, and Is then passed In
small boat, which is towing at the stern.
The men jump into this, and pulling IN
upon the line unit the fish is brought IN
alongside, it is then killed with whale
lance OF whale-spade, whick is stuck into
the gills.
BORING A HOLE IN A SHIPS KEEL.
AS an instance of the strength and saw
ageness ofthe swordfish, Prof. Goode gives
the experience of an English vessel: Inc
ship Dreadnaughts thoroughly repaired
and classed A at Lloyd's, had been IN
sured for e3, 600 against all risks OF the
seas She sailed from Colombo to Lon
don. Three days later the crew while fish
ing hooked swordfish. The fish, how
ever, broke the line, and few moments
after leaped out of the water,
with the object, it would seem,
of taking a look at his prosecutor, the
Dreadnaught. Probably he satisfied him
self that the enemy was some abnormally
large ceatacian which it was naturally his
duty to attack forthwith. Be this as 1t
may, the attack was made, and at o'clock
the next morning the captain was awakened
with the unwelcome intelligence that the
ship had sprung leak. She was taken
back to Colombo and thence to Cochin,
where she hove down. Near the keel was
found round hole an inch in diameter,
running completely through the copper
sheathing and planking.

they swooped down on the kidnappers'
The Bloodhound Gang contingent re-en-
forced the Gorsuchs, and there was des-
perate hand-tO-hand struggle. Kline took
to his heels at the first onslaught. The ne
groes slashed, stabbed, dubbed and literal
ly jumped on their enemies. They roared
like mad bulls all the while. Several shots
were fired by the members Of the Blood
hound Gang, but they all speedily followed
Kline's example.
Not so lucky were Edward Gorsuch and
his son. They were killed in the melee
The father was hacked to pieces with corn
knives, and the son was run through the
body with pitchfork, besides getting two
bullets in the head.
Mr.. Hanway heard the firing on his way
home. He promptly sent Mrs. Hanway 10
the scene with lint and bandages. She
helped patch up some Of the wounded
negroes, but both the Gorsuchs had died
before she arrived.
Kline had FASTENED to Lancaster and in
formed against Hanway and Lewis. The
next day Hanway heard that every one
near the scene of the battle was being ar
rested. He went at once into town and
gave himself up. Bail was refused and he
was put in the county Jail. Lewis was
also arrested. Sheriff Hooper, whose sym
pathies were with the Abolitionists,
never locked them in cells. He gave
them the freedom of the Jail, and
permitted them to live in his own apart
ments. There they remained for some
weeks, until they were indicted for high
treason by the Grand Jury. Then they
were Immediately removed to Philadelphia
and confined in Moyamensing Prison.
They had more than 800 visitors before
their trial. Locked up with them were
Joseph Scarlet, another prominent Adolf
zionist, and thirty-five negroes. Mr.. Han
ways trial for high treason did not come
of until November 30, 1851. He and
Lewis were jointly indicted, but Hanway
came to trial first. The jury returned a
verdict of acquittal in less than half an
hour after receiving the charge Of the
court.

WHY so FEW MARRY.
A New York Philosopher Gives Two Learn
ed Reasons why So Many Men Prefer to
Remain Single.

REMAIN single.
The Epoch
Two principal causes have led to the de-
cline in matrimony among fashionable or
would.be fashionable circles in New York,
and to less, though to considerable, de-
gree in some of the other large cities. The
first is the increased comforts and dimin.
ished expenses of bachelor life; the second
is the Over-worship to which we have &C.
custOmed our women.
The avidity with which suites were Sc
cured in the first bachelor apartment house
built in New York soon led to the erection
of large number of similar structures.
In these suites Of two, three, or more rooms
can be had at q cost little exceeding what
a man used to have to pay for one large
furnished room in well-situated lodging
house. Some of these houses have res
taurants attached, and in others the oCcu,
pants can arrange with the janitor for the
supply of light breakfast. The number
of clubs has increased almost proportion
ately with that of the apartment houses.
At his club the member finds an amount
of comfort, often of luxury, that only an
enormously rich man could furnish for
himself. Here he can dine or lunch at a
price which little more than covers the
cost of the provisions. Many of the clubs
have sleeping rooms over the public ones,
and thus offer exceptional advantages to
bachelors.
A single man, with an income of 81, SOC
to s., 900 year, can live well and dress
we'll. Improperly started, he can have an
unlimited amount of social gayety, and an
occasional bouquet or bonbonniere al
Christmas is all the return he is expected
to make tor the innumerable hospitalitieS
received. Now, surprising that he is suffi'
GENTLY in love with some girl TO he willing
to surrender the greater portion OF his lit
tie comforts TO the desire to make her his
wife, is he likely to find her willing to &C
cept him? Most probably not! And il
she should accept him, have her education
and training been such rs to make her {
helpmate to him9 Again the answer ii
negative. In considering the wherefore o.
these negatives, the second principal cause
before stated, is naturally reached.
The society young lady wants to begiI
her married life ON the same scale as tina
on which her parents are ending them,
Her parents pet and indulge her in ever
way, her bachelor friends adore her
aud receives almost as much worship as diC
a goddess in the days Of Greece and Rome
Very probably she ispretty highly educated
accomplished, bright and attraetive-a de
lightful partner for dance or a Irritation
and very Likely an excellent wife for al
extremely rich man. But ask her to com
down from her pedestal, to be the help
mate of man Of moderate means, to Gu
herself loose from the acquaintance tina
can only be kept up while she is wealthy
to share in his struggles, and to rise or sim
with him, and she will, most likely
politely and firmly refuse.
1t is difficult to foresee what the remed
for this state of affairs will be.

liZStiOn. Yet the whole apparitiOn had so
shadowy and spectral . look that the terror
il inspired was itself vague aud indefinite,
like the terror OF a dream.
II affected our horses as we'll rs our
selVes-they extended their necks, threw
forward their ears and backed along the
trail. For some moments we sat in our
saddles surveying the hldeOuS and eXtrava-
CANT spectacle, without a word and our
tongues were lOOsened only when il began
rapidly 10 diminish and recede, and ut last
1t was resolved into 4 train of mules and
wagons, barely visible on the distant hOri'
zon. They were at least 10 miles away
and outlined against the blue sky, with
nothing visible beyond where the surfac,
of the globe fell away with increasing
steepneSs.
| then remembered what my astOniSh
ment had not permitted me closely to note
that this pageant had appeared to move
along parallel to the foot Of a slope eX
tending upward and backward to an i'm
mense height, iutsTsected with rivers and
presenting all the features of prairie
landscape.
The mirage had in effected contracted
the whole ten miles o. foreground be
